FF Type1 vs Blackworks BWS SS

[dcmystery21]

I am currently in the market for some coilovers and I have come up with a choice between these two. The FF coilovers are the traditional coilover style but the bwr's have a fixed spring perch and the strut base itself rotates to achieve the desired ride height. My question is, which of these do you think is better? They are of simliar price so that should be out of the equation. Lemme know what you guys think. Thanks.

FF and Blackworks are designed the same way... You adjust the right height by turning the lower perch.

I've always seen blackworks on ebay, but never knew if they were any good.

Whats the warranty on them?

those specific blackworks are for a cf4 and will not fit our accords ... if you look at the rear design you will see that they are different


the damage/return policy sucks

If the product is defective, you will receive a replacement. If you choose to return the defective item, rather than replace it, a restocking fee will be assessed and your original shipping and processing charges will not be refunded.

If after 30 days of receiving your product, it proves to be defective, we would like for you to deal with the manufacturer. They will inform you on how to proceed based on their policies.

All returns are subject to a restocking fee. We have a standard restocking fee of 15-20% on ALL returned items*

I think that might just be a stock image. when i searched it on ebay, all the pictures were the same

apparently BWR is really popular with the civic and VW crew so if u get it, tell us how it is, i have yet to see it on an accord

Buying no name crap on ebay is never a good idea. You get what you pay for, especially with suspension products.

i have it on my accord.. the blackworks i mean.. kinda stiff.. having that problem where its too low and im hitting my strut tower... wish i new a remedy for that besides bringing it up lol

 

[dcmystery21]

ive been leaning heavily towards the FF's. have you guys heard anything about those? or even some used coilovers that are still in good condition? thanks for the replies so far.

I have ff type ones pretty good so far cept does hit strut tower if too low but I had mine for 6 months now

this is true, but the item title also states 98-02 cf4 ... confusing since we do not have a cf4 chassis ... i'm sure it's a typo or something since outsidaz2k is running a set ...


OP: if your still interested in them, just contact the seller to verify ... i would recommend ff's ... i personally haven't heard anything bad about them yet
